IMHO it didn't handle polyphony very gracefully, as you had to hardcode the number of voices into each patch. Maybe that has changed? At that time I was looking for a do-it-all system, and ended up staying with csound which I knew already. Now I'm trying out the posibility of using a mixture of softsynths together over jack. So in that light PD might be useful as a monophonic synth... -- .''`. Peace, love & harmony : :' : Atte `. `' `- http://www.atte.dk
